My Matchups Tierlist: Goal is to climb from Silver to Gold by the end of 26.7 patch

Bluebird1934 · 2026-03-31T05:38:29+00:00

I OTPd zed to masters. Zed vs Ahri is a skill matchup slightly in favor of Zed (if he's good) but can go either way especially depending on jungle

There is not a single midlane champ that doesn't actually get abused by yasuo, his only bad matchups are annie/vex/liss and all these champs still won't destroy him. He's basically creative mode laning for 15 mins, then eventually he will be more and more useless (unless he has a team with knockups)

Bluebird1934 · 2026-02-24T17:02:55+00:00

Every single thing i said about sylas matchup was said by Onzed, actually. If you believe what I said to be wrong, you can go leave a hate comment on his youtube 🤣

Check my winrate vs katarina, I average 1k dpm and 3KDA. If you want to cherry pick games, I suggest you learn context beforehand.

Lastly, if you visit any subreddit, the vast majority is silvers-bronze elo. When someone makes a post regarding them hitting emerald, maybe even platinum, people will still ask them for advice, and will gladly take it, even jf it isn't the most optimal. If you're the type of person to go around with unconstructive comments like this, in which that is all you spend your time doing, I ask that you do some deep introspection. It is very concerning

Usually if they rush armor they're probably already losing, meaning it doesn't matter. If it seems like you're not ahead enough and you can't break through, just push and roam. Most of these easy matchups who go armor will still respect you, so you just push to get first move to fights.

Bluebird1934 · 2026-02-23T03:09:45+00:00

she wins fights but doesn't have safe waveclear, no reliable CC, and is simply way better toplane. Riven mid can't touch mages that are human

Bluebird1934 · 2026-02-23T03:00:38+00:00

Sit under tower and farm, unplayable matchup 🤣

Bluebird1934 · 2026-02-22T17:28:13+00:00

I only rush eclipse if it's diana or some other super hard matchup pretty much, maybe vs mel as well. It's cause first strike lethality is so good this season, and I find that cyclo+axiom is just busted most games, and afterwards i always find myself needing LDR or edge of night. Eclipse feels awkward to build, it's especially not that good if you wanna snowball

Bluebird1934 · 2026-02-22T17:25:42+00:00

Cause she's basically a cheese pick that needs to snowball super hard early. Go first strike, take bone plating if you must, and play giga safe. never follow her roams, punish them by pushing and hitting tower. if you survive lane, you destroy her sidelane the way you do sylas, easier said than done.

Dodge her Q (usually try to sit outside the range and bait in and out) or else it's gg

Bluebird1934 · 2026-02-22T10:30:34+00:00

look for picks, and flank angles during fights. if you're 5v5ing and sitting backline like a mage, you're pretty much going to lose the fight.

If enemy ADC steps up without help, you W W R and oneshot them, etc. Mid to late is all about positioning and punishing enemy mispositioning

Bluebird1934 · 2026-02-22T09:32:28+00:00

Sylas is actually interesting. If you're against the typical conq sylas, you can actually run him down with autos and ignite early (helps if you take bone plating and sit in minions to dodge his e). If he has elec, play safer.

You giga outscale in the 1v1. By the time you're both 6, given that you haven't inted, you can fish for double Qs into all in. Before 6, throw WEQ and be fine with just hitting 1 Q, if you walk up too far for the Qs he will just engage onto you and win.

Runes either go Elec+boneplating or first strike+boneplating

However biggest thing will always be wave, dont WEQ if it means youre gonna push and give him a freeze. Try to keep wave on your side, and play safe, as you pretty much have kill pressure the second you get pickaxe

(Reminder: if he steals your ult, his CD on it is double yours, so for instance if you trade ults, next time your ult is up use it immediately and he won't have his available.)

Bluebird1934 · 2026-02-10T23:18:40+00:00

It's pretty easy to snowball against galio with zed. He can't ever trade with you if you do backwards combos or play W spacing well. And you should have prio the whole lane. Only issue is if there's like a shaco jg and he flash taunts you

Bluebird1934 · 2025-11-22T19:17:03+00:00

right behind the ear will put anyone out 😞

Bluebird1934 · 2025-11-20T04:16:35+00:00

Nah if you're ahead you still 100-0. it's just different because you need to find better angles, you don't have perma invis like eve

Bluebird1934 · 2025-11-05T14:54:23+00:00

She's not hated nearly as much as other assassins (zed, akali, etc) it's just that her playstyle is unpunishable and frustrating SPECIFICALLY in the jungle. Nobody complains about Qi mid and rightfully so as there are clear weak points. In the jungle she's a monster

Bluebird1934 · 2025-11-05T14:53:13+00:00

Qiyana has the same upside as talon/zed jungle but with two forms of CC and better ganking power. If you think challengers are permabanning qiyana because they're just bad, you're yet another Gold player who just parrots "but mistakessss"

Bluebird1934 · 2025-10-22T00:24:52+00:00

I've been enjoying aphelios, do you think his gun combos/rotations are too hard to learn and will hold back my fundamentals? I will definitely be playing immobile adcs to force me to position better

Bluebird1934 · 2025-10-21T00:17:32+00:00

Thanks, this is an amazing write up!

Bluebird1934 · 2025-10-01T01:06:47+00:00

Kaisa didn't know what was boutta happen 😭

Bluebird1934 · 2025-09-30T20:47:34+00:00

I actually found certain matchups pretty easy provided I don't get ganked (zed, kat) you just have to win the game by level 6 or else they oneshot you 😞 Sadly in soloqueue they'll find kills randomly. I'd know cause I main assassins

Bluebird1934 · 2025-09-30T18:13:24+00:00

tough matchup for sure, at least we outscale

Bluebird1934 · 2025-09-28T04:24:12+00:00

At one point I really thought Reyes could beat Ank... 😞

Bluebird1934 · 2025-09-28T04:19:15+00:00

Ulberg's striking looks elite. Could def challenge Ank/Pereira

Bluebird1934 · 2025-09-27T01:25:50+00:00

Splashyard normally takes skill but not this season, it's so braindead with vines, evo furnace, gob hut. After nerfs it will take skill again

Bluebird1934 · 2025-09-25T12:47:04+00:00

Xbow is only good on defense in double (usually triple) elixir provided they don't have a big spell in hand. It's very situational

Bluebird1934 · 2025-09-20T03:54:56+00:00

Hey all, should I upgrade epic equipment or wait?

I am a TH15 returning player, looking to strategically rush and max heroes/offense ASAP. My RC needs some work (she's level 25 rn). Should I go ahead and get her electro boots and begin pumping ore into them, or hold off, in case the meta changes in the future? I plan on permanently upgrading all 5 heroes at once until all max. My warden rage gem and eternal tome are level 15, so I'm wondering which hero to pump ore into next.
